According to your pics, everything should be working 
Also, the led above ready is yellow and the led above link/err blinks yellow. Not sure if that matters.
Could it be incorrect/faulty ethernet cable?
Also try setting your I/O patch screen D-Snake IN the same as mine, if you compare them yours has different assignments for the first 16 channels.(NC instead of Main)

I think when I got mine I just plugged it in and the default settings for inputs worked, so try going to a blank/default scene perhaps?
Re the LED I am not able to check right now, but I am fairly certain it is either green or red non flashing.

Nope, tried same settings, though I only have inputs 1-8 on the AR84, whereas your AB168 has 1-16. So I only need to use inputs 17-24.
Also, Iāve tried numerous cat5 cables, and still, nothing 
Yes I see, but if you compare yours here

To same on mine, it could be this patching giving you the error:

Yeah, Iāve tried setting every channel in dSnake in as main 1-8 and still nothing.
Just submitted a ticket to A&H.

Has anyone using the Qu-Pac set up the AH as an FX Send/Return?
Not yet, but when my Heat arrives I will!

Yes, works well.

Thanks, would you mind explaining briefly how you routed it in terms of I/O?
Yeah, I have 3 effects all utilizing the mono inputs linked, so for instance, 11-12, 13-14, and 15-16. Then Iām also using the 3 stereo output mixes. After youāve that setup, you just route everything internally.
So sometimes Iāll throw a synth through the biscuit, then through the Deco, and finally through the BIM. Really flexible routing options etc.

OK, thereās definitely something Iām doing wrong here. So the outputs of the heat are going into a linked pair of mono channels on the Qu-PAC. The outputs of Mix 5-6 on the Qu-PAC are going into the Heatās inputs. I go into the the channel processing and turn up the volume of Mix 5-6 on the channels I want to route to the Heat. Mix 5-6 itself is turned up to full.
But I get nothing. Any ideas?
Iād be inclined to start with a new default scene, try the setup there, seems like you have routed everything correctly though.
Have you routed (via the routing screen) the inputs to the outputs etc?
Check the routing screen, sounds like that might be your issue.
Many thanks for your help guys. Iām kind of almost there. I have the heat coming back now, but itās all sort of clipped and just plain wrong somehow. Still fiddling around.
I have AH running out stereo mix 7/8 and coming back in on ST1. All other channels are turned all the way down on the faders. The only thing passing audio is ST1 to my main LR out to speakers. Everything else is routed to st1 for now.
Next Iām going to experiment with using it as an insert and only on one thing at a time, but right now my whole mix passes through

Overbridge is going to make all this a whole lot easier for me. Come on with the update!
Iām interested in connecting effects boxes (namely a Mooger-Fooger MIDI Murf and Ekdahl Mosturizer, both unbalanced) as an insert effect for a given channel, and am hoping to confirm what cables I would need. The manual has this to say:
If you are connecting to āunbalancedā equipment then make sure the XLR pin 3 (signal cold) is linked to pin 1 (signal ground). [p.14 of Qu Mixer Reference Guide]
I found some 1/4" TS to XLR Female cables but I understand I would have to solder pins 1 and 3 together. I wonderā
From there, I understand I could assign a given channel to mix (post preamp,) mix out to fx, fx back to spare channel, and treat this spare channel as the wet channel.
I donāt have a Qu, but am considering it. Itād be so freaking cool to be able to route my signal flow to specific effects boxes with a push of a button.
In the Multtrack recording on the Qu PAC does anyone know, if the any of the 16 channels can be re-assigned to record any other inputs for instance send effects etc?
